Chapter 55: phenomenon

When Matthew Miller opened his eyes, he saw the sunlight pouring in from the window.
Blue sky and white clouds, green trees, and occasionally a bird or two chirping across the roof sky.
The breeze blows into the house from outside the window, gently lifting the translucent screens, bringing the fragrance of grass and sunlight outside.
Matthew took a deep breath of the fresh air, then jumped out of bed, and ran to the window to look forward.
What a wonderful Sunday morning!
He couldn't help shouting.
"It seems that little Matthew is awake." The wife who was busy on the kitchen counter turned her head and said to her husband who was sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper.
"Yeah." David Miller simply responded, without looking away from the newspaper.
Then accompanied by a burst of intensive footsteps, Matthew Miller rushed into the kitchen.
"Good morning, mother!"
He greeted loudly.
"Good morning, little Matthew." Mom turned around and brought the breakfast plate on the counter to the dining table, and said, "Hurry up and let your father send you to train after eating."
Then she complained to her husband: "Don't read it, you have read this newspaper three times. Hurry up and have breakfast, you have to send Little Matthew to training!"
With a crash, David Miller put down the newspaper in his hand and prepared to have breakfast.
The newspaper he put down attracted Matthew's gaze. He noticed that it was a picture of Houlah being held on the shoulder by Leeds City fans. He was waving his fist, and his back was the North Stand of the Flanders Stadium.
"What's the hurry, it's too early..." David Miller complained as he started to eat, then he caught a glimpse of his son standing in a daze, and frowned, "Why, aren't you going to train? "
"Ah, oh..." Matthew just sat down to eat.
Soon my brother and sister also came to eat in the restaurant.
My brother also noticed the newspaper on the dining table and the photos in the newspaper.
He whistled: "Wow! Cool!"
Then he picked it up and looked at it carefully: "Tsk, it’s unbelievable that we were able to successfully relegation two rounds ahead of schedule this time...Last season, "Daddy" took a lot of effort to relegation in the last round of thrilling...Look This Tony Clark did a good job in Leeds City!"
When David heard the eldest son say this, he grabbed the newspaper with his hand, folded it and placed it on the back of his chair: "When you eat, you will concentrate on eating, what newspaper to read!"
The older sister lowered his head and snickered, while the older brother winked his eyes at his younger brother Matthew. The family sat around the kitchen table and ate the breakfast that their mother had prepared for them.

After breakfast, Matthew went back to the bedroom to pack all the equipment he was going to train at the Sapuhong Training Base in Leeds into the backpack, then put on the backpack and ran downstairs again with his pair of football boots.
When he walked out of the house, his father had pulled the hatchback Citroen from the garage and parked it on the side of the road.
After saying goodbye to his mother at the door, Matthew walked to the car. Open the back seat door, throw in the backpack and shoes first, and finally get into the car, close the door and sit down.
After all this was done, the father in the front row started the car, turned onto the highway, and drove towards the Sapuhong Training Base, about ten kilometers away from their home.
There are two training bases in Leeds. One has a long history but is relatively small. It is located next to the Flanders Stadium at home and is only used for first team and reserve team training.
The other one was newly built eight years ago and is relatively large in scale for echelon training of all ages. This training base is slightly far from the city, in the small town of Sapuhong outside Leeds, so it is called the Sapuhong Training Base.
Fourteen-year-old Matthew Miller, as a member of the U16 echelon of Leeds City, goes there every week for training.
Although it is very hard to run back and forth, being able to enter the Sapuhong training base for training means that Matthew Miller's football talent has been recognized by the Leeds City Club. As long as he does not get injured and develops smoothly, he has a high chance of becoming a professional player, just like the predecessors of Sean Barnett and Pete Williams.
David Miller was driving intently, and Matthew Miller sat in the back seat, turning his head to look at the street scene flashing through the car window.
Although the two people watched the game together in the north stand yesterday, when the two of them were in the relatively closed space inside the car, they seemed to have nothing to say.
No one said anything, and the car drove to the training base in silence.
It wasn't until the car stopped outside the gate of the training base that Matthew Miller opened the door and got out of the car and was about to walk into the training base, when his father suddenly stopped him.
"Train well," he exhorted.
"Oh, I know……"
"The future will be the same as yesterday."
"What was it like yesterday?" Matthew asked knowingly.
When Dad frowned: "Just like Hu!"
After talking, he drove away like a gas pedal.
Matthew Miller laughed as he watched the taillights of the car that was going away quickly.

Wang Haoxi and his two roommates Song Xinghe and Pei Yu are walking on campus, ready to go to class.
On the road, people kept looking at the three of them, and others chanted to them: "AHU!!!"
Some people even ran in front of them, then made Hu Lai's celebration, followed by shouting: "HUUUUU!!!"
At this, the three people smiled and gave thumbs back, while yelling "HUUUUUU!!!"
It's like a cipher.
They just walked on campus with their heads high.
It wasn't until they walked into the teaching building that the three of them suddenly felt as if they were frustrated, and their original upright posture instantly turned into a hunched over and hips.
"Fuck me, so tired!" Song Xinghe complained.
"I said Lao Wang, why are we doing this? Why are we still carrying the burden of idols?" Pei Yu also rubbed his waist with a frown.
"Have you not seen that the foreigners in the school look at us in different eyes? Yesterday Hu Lai played like a hero at the Flanders Stadium, winning glory for the country. Although we can't win glory for the country, we can't. Shame Hu Lai? Otherwise, what do foreigners think about our stubborn attitude? We can't let off Hu Lai's bulging momentum!" Wang Haoxi said solemnly.
"With so many Chinese students in Leeds, what's the use of the three of us being stretched here? Oh, the three of us can shame Hu Lai?" Song Xinghe curled his lips and disagreed with his roommate's reason.
"We can't control others. But at least we must have a clear conscience!" Wang Haoxi said generously.
"Hey, there are so many beautiful things, it's not that your kid wants to pick a girl..." Before Pei Yu's voice, he saw a few blonde girls walking towards him, so he straightened his chest and smiled. Pay attention to ceremony.
At the same time, Wang Haoxi and Song Xinghe beside him kept pace with him.
It wasn't until a few girls walked over that the three of them returned to their original state. Then Wang Haoxi pointed to Pei Yu and said, "Oh, who was the loudest complaint just now?"
"What's wrong for me, Pei Yu, to win glory for the country!" Hearing this, Pei Yu stood up again.
"Bitch!" Wang Haoxi and Song Xinghe gave Pei Yu a at the same time.
Pei Yu also used the middle finger: "Don't talk about the big brother, don't you two the same?"
The three of them came to the door of the classroom in such a mess, and then Wang Haoxi paused, spreading his hands to stop the two roommates behind him.
"Pharaoh, what are you doing..." Before Song Xinghe finished speaking, he saw Wang Haoxi suddenly rushing out again, rushing into the classroom, and then jumping onto the podium, making Hu Lai's celebration:
"HUUUUUU!!!"
There was a burst of excitement and cheers in the classroom.
"WOOOOOOOW!!! AHU!!!"
"Fuck! Let the old Wang pretend to be finished, this bastard!" The two people, Song Xinghe and Pei Yu outside the door, looked at this lively scene, heartbroken, regretting it-why didn't we expect this?
On the second day of Leeds’ relegation, I don’t know how many Chinese students, like Wang Haoxi and his roommates, were proud of themselves and Hu Lai as compatriots.

"When Leeds City suddenly announced the change of coaches at the beginning of the season, I don't know how many people were not optimistic about their prospects for relegation. The performance of this team after the start of the league also proved that everyone was worried about them... in the first half of the season. Ranked 18th in the league, they have fallen into the relegation zone. But now they have succeeded in relegation two rounds ahead of schedule... I think there is one person who has to mention, that is, the club has lost 12 million in the winter transfer window. Hu Lai, the Chinese player introduced by the British pound..."
"It is said that Hu once attracted the attention of many giants including the Madrid Kings and Catalonia, but in the end he was relegated to Leeds City in the Premier League. Hu's arrival greatly strengthened Leeds City's scoring ability, everyone also Remember when he scored five goals in the first three games, right? Now he has scored ten goals in just 13 games. These ten goals have brought Leeds 15 points, which is less. Fifteen points, it is really difficult for Leeds to relegation...
"In the game between Leeds City and North London Rangers yesterday, everyone thought that the protagonist would be Sean Barnett, who returned to Flanders, but it was unexpected that Hu successfully stole the limelight from Sean in the end. This Chinese The player performed his first hat trick to join Leeds City, and it was also the first hat trick for an Asian player in the Premier League..."
"...After the game, Sean was completely forgotten by the Leeds City fans. All the Leeds City fans who left the Flanders Stadium were repeating the same name... At the same time, there was another scene in the game that impressed the reporter. Profound, that is when Hu finished his third goal of the game, when he made his own signature celebration move, from the Flanders North Stand, there was a roar, like thunder, shaking Many people were present...I told my Chinese colleagues on the spot, congratulations, Hu has won the hearts of Leeds fans!"
...
On the second day of the game, Hulay's name was not only spread among the Leeds fans, but also appeared in many British media.
The video of his celebration after scoring his third goal also appeared on the Internet and in various news reports.
Everyone can clearly hear the loud shout that sounded as he landed: "HUUUUUU!!!"
※※※
"HUUUUUU!!!"
When Yong Jun, who was driving, heard this sound, he knew that Hu Lai must be watching those videos circulating on the Internet.
This kid still keeps the habit of surfing the Internet to see how others praise him...
After Hu Lai finished watching this video, he said: "There is a particularly good news, Hu Lai. You have conquered many people in the half season of the Premier League, and you have also made those international big names cast more on you. Attention. Nike has contacted the brokerage company and hopes to sign a long-term contract with you."
"Wow? Doesn't that mean there is a lot of money, Uncle Yong?" Hu Lai asked excitedly.
"Yes, although it has not yet entered the stage of quotation. But with your influence in China, I think Nike will not be stingy. After all, they are not the only ones interested in you. Although Adidas has not yet contacted the company, if When they know Nike’s actions, they will not be indifferent."
"Hehehe, it's good. In this regard, Uncle Yong, you and Fatty can figure it out, I'm not professional." Hu Lai rubbed his hands and said.
"Then Hu Lai, do you have any preferences in terms of branding?" Yong Jun asked.
"Yes!" Hu Lai nodded seriously.
"Nike or Adi? Or Puma?"
Hu Lai said solemnly: "I prefer the brand with the most money!"
Yong Jun: "..."
"Is there a problem, Uncle Yong?" Hu Lai saw the change in expression on Yong Jun's face through the rearview mirror.
"Uh, no, no..." Yong Jun gently shook his head, "Don't worry, I will help you with Song and I will help you do this. You only need to train and compete."
"Well, thank you Uncle Yong!"
"Thank you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I earn your commission, of course I want to help you make more money." Yong Jun laughed. "There are two league rounds left this season. Don't be too proud. Let's start and finish well, Hu Lai."
"Okay, Uncle Yong."
While talking, the car had reached the gate of the Flanders Park training base, where a large number of fans and reporters with cameras gathered.
Seeing their cars approaching, they moved closer to the middle of the road.
For safety reasons, Yongjun slowed down while Hu Lai rolled down the window.
When the fans saw this, they waved to him in excitement, and then shouted neatly: "HUUUUUU!!!"
For the enthusiasm of the fans, Hu Lai returned with thumbs and smiles.
The reporters nearby recorded this scene with cameras one after another and harvested today's news material.
